SteelSeries Diablo III Mouse and Headset Review

Introduction and Technical Specifications

If you have even a passing interest in gaming then you're bound to have played Blizzard's excellent Diablo 2. A role-playing game distilled down to its essence, all about dungeon crawling and loot. We all like loot.

Considering that Diablo 2 is still played by large numbers of people it's not a great surprise to find that since the announcement of Diablo III back in 2008 the gaming community has been salivating in anticipation. Now with the release only a couple of months away it's time to get yourself kitted out in readiness.

Enter SteelSeries and their Diablo III Headset and Diablo III Mouse.

Are these enough to sate our impatience for the game itself? Will it hack and slash its way to the top of the pile? Read on.

Technical Specifications

Headset

The headset clearly takes its influence from the excellent Siberia V2 which is one of the most well-rounded and best value headsets on the market. If you're going to base your branded product upon anything then the V2 is a great choice.

The 7 button, 5700 DPI Diablo III mouse looks just like the SteelSeries Kai and Sensei, being a very sleek ambidextrous design. Despite the obvious design influence SteelSeries assure us that the hardware and firmware are all unique to the Diablo III. Even if it isn't that wouldn't be a bad thing given our love for the Sensei.

Yes it's a regular occurrence. Don't forget that adding branding to a product is a lot easier than creating and bug-testing a game. Additionally, Blizzard are known for releasing their products late. Diablo III isn't late yet, but StarCraft II took its time.Quote
